Do birds pee?

Im just wondering because it seems like all they do is poo. And its obviously always wet but has an attached substance. Do they ever only pee or is it mixed? Would seem that they are the only animal to do this if thats the case.

Just a thought when examining the amount of bird excrement under my feeder.

Ya they Pee, I found this on Ask.com

Birds excrete their nitrogenous wastes, derived mostly from the breakdown of proteins, in the form of uric acid rather than urea as mammals do. Unlike urea, uric acid is almost insoluble in water, and is excreted in the form of crystals that form a semisolid white paste. Not needing to store liquid wastes, birds lack a bladder. Instead urine passes from the ureters into the cloaca, a common chamber for the passage of digestive and urinary wastes, as well as for reproductive products. A bird dropping usually contains both white uric acid crystals, and a concentrated mass of digestive wastes such as insect cuticle or seeds.

I always thought it was incorporated with their dookie, which may explain why it's always moist.

Don't forget that they can fly, too. That's about a good 20 up on us.

OK they only have 10 up on us. We are capable of all that, but the task is not nearly as pretty. This all depends on the substance we take in.
